Dr. Wayne Stephens has spent most of his career working to improve the lives of children. He cares
deeply about oral health care equity, particularly for vulnerable children. To this end, he established
the pediatric dental specialty practice at Jessie Trice Community Health Center, Florida’s oldest
federally qualified community health center. His practice is located in one of Miami’s most neglected
neighborhoods, Liberty City.

Dr. Stephens received a B.A. from Williams College in 2000. He graduated from Columbia University
in 2010 after completing a dual degree program with the College of Dental Medicine and the
Graduate School of Business. His specialty training in pediatric dentistry was done at Miami
Children’s Hospital (now Nicklaus Children’s). In 2016, he was selected to the Miami Fellows
program, South Florida’s premier civic leadership development program for young professionals. In
2017, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry chose him for their Samuel D. Harris Fellowship
in Oral Health Care Policy.
